Cazenovia College Students Organize "No More" Campaign

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and two Cazenovia College students took it into their own hands to make a difference on their campus. Human Services majors Bobbi Jo Hannan (Canastota, NY) and Janeen Bligen (Bronx, NY) coordinated a recorded public service announcement (PSA) with 11 faculty and staff participating in the “NO MORE” video. In addition to the video, “NO MORE” photos of students and additional staff were created.

“In one day, we came up with this idea and from there it took off,” explains Hannan, co-chair of the Cazenovia College “NO MORE” Campaign.

Hannan and Bligen made it clear that they wanted their peers to know that sexual assault happens everywhere. It is real and it impacts thousands of people daily. Hannan explains, “We may never know the amount of people that our message reaches but just hearing one individual talk about it suggests we’ve done our job well.”
